Scully Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 They may be right. Most Fairy Tales and some nursery rhymes ( Ring a ring of Roses for example ) have their origins based in medieval european folklore and are the stuff of nightmares.

Ring a ring of roses was to do with the Black Death (Bubonic Plague) I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 It all sounds very tame when compared to some of the popular shoot-'em-up video games that are available. That's a fair and relevant point, and one which hadn't occurred to me. Ring a ring of roses was to do with the Black Death (Bubonic Plague) I believe? Yes, I believe so.
